Robot Talk Episode 165: Robots Behind the Research

In Episode 165 of Robohub's Robot Talk, host Claire spoke with Kushant Patel from Brookhaven National Laboratory about robots that work in scientific facilities, such as particle accelerators. Patel builds software that helps robots and instruments perceive, map, and move through the physical world. According to the original source, after completing a Master's in Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Patel spent two years at the University of California, Berkeley teaching quadruped robots to map and inspect nuclear material, and a year at the University of California, Davis building closed-loop brain-computer interfaces. At Brookhaven National Laboratory, he is developing control systems for advanced synchrotron beamlines. This content was organized by AI from Robohub's original report.
